Ok I had my form’s dropped off the 24TH of Feb and I called the WV branch to inquire if they had been received.
There response No sir what havent received your packet :eek:
It was mailed out priority/certified .
Family memeber who mailed it didnt happen to keep the receipt and the only reason I didnt do it myself is Im responsible for opening and closing the part’s dept mon thru sat .
Im #$@%ed arent I ?
So now what do I do wait a while (1-2 month) and see what happen’s .
This is the problem. As I understand it, all mail, other than regular first class stamped packets, must go to a different sorting/staging area. For proper logging. They will get there, with a nice delay, just fine.
Send your forms in plain envelopes using regular first class stamps addressed to the proper place.
Also, what type of form??
Form 4’s go to:
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
National Firearms Act Branch
P.O. Box 530298
Atlanta, GA 30353-0298
Form 1’s and all other correspondence goes to:
National Firearms Act Branch
244 Needy Road
Martinsburg, West Virginia 25405
It’s a form 1 I sent out .
And it was sent to the WV branch of course . 9 day’s and counting (arrrrggggh)
From my experiences thus far, they’ll actually ‘see’ it in about 4-5 more days!

I hope so .
I mentioned the end of june because Im gonna give the company’s other location a try for 3 month’s starting 4/1 and if I it doesnt work Im going to plan B !
Remember there are also only three responses to status of the transfer:
I’ve checked on F4’s before and it wasn’t “in the system” the week before when I called, but now the dealer has the F4 in his hands 7 days later. :eek:
Odd place, but sending it certified or priority only complicates issues.
Wrote by SHIVAN : 1) Not in the system.
Yup that’s what the guy siad on the phone when I called . I stand corrected sir .
Note to self dont send form’s certified next time!
I’m to the point now, that I don’t even think about it until at least 30 days from the day I mailed it. 
Around day 45, if I haven’t heard anything from the dealer, or gotten the F1 back, I call and see if it’s pending.
Your best indicator will be your online banking access. Look at when the check clears. Wait 30 days, then call. 
I’m beginning to believe the wait 30 days after check is cashed.
Trust form 4 SBR transfer
1/24/2007 SBR (complete rifle) purchased from dealer / dealer sends out form 3

2/20/2007 check to BATFE cashed
Called several times and it’s not pending yet.
Can you send Money Order’s?
Yes you can
My check was deposited 3/09/07
Me HAPPY!
Here’s the number: (304) 616-4500
Just called… nothing in the system for me yet 
HUGE mistake… had an older form with the DC address on it, not W. Va. Gonna be waiting awhile now… sent mine out on Feb 10th or so and the check hasn’t even cleared. Oh well, learn from my mistakes…
304-616-4500. Nevermind, you already answered your own question.
[homer]Doh!
I forgot to ad the other day I called and it was pending as of 3/23/07
Now I trying to decide what to do for my next nfa project to keep me busy.
What the heck? What do you guys mean regular first class mail?
I folded my pages up and put them in a business letter sized envelope and put that in a priority cardboard envelope at the post office.
I also got the green delivery confirmation card and it was back in my hands in two days or so.
I mailed it on the 1st of March, a F1 to WV.
Should I call or just wait 'til next week when I planned on it coming back?
crap…
